C# indexof problem

Question

In a C# 2008 application I am trying trying to obtain data about a file based upon the directory file where a file is located under. Basically I am trying to obtain a company name. The directory folder name is Company Name(Company Number). I would be do a substring to obtain the company name. I have code like the following: int intSTartNameloc = strFilename.IndexOf((); string strCompanyName = strFilename.substring(0intSTartNameloc); My problem is the intSTartNameloc is not picking up the real position of the left parantheseis. Thus can you tell me how to change the line int intSTartNameloc = strFilename.IndexOf((); so it selects the correct position?

Try: int intSTartNameloc = strFilename.IndexOf((); int intENdNameLoc = strFilename.IndexOf()); int length = intENdNameLoc - intSTartNameloc - 1; string strCompanyName = strFilename.Substring(intSTartNameloc + 1 length);
